Re: Cold Steel Knife, Safe Closing

Just wanted to share a little mod I did to my Kudu knives to quiet them down. I replaced the keyring with a paracord loop. The method of closing remains the same as RC describes in his video. You are just placing a finger inside the paracord loop vs. a keyring. The knife if a lot more quiet and can still be clipped to a carabiner if needed.

I changed the sharpening angle to 38 degrees (19 dps) vs. the original 25 degrees on my kudus for longevity of the edge. I follow up with a good stropping on a piece of leather.

Re: Cold Steel Knife, Safe Closing

To add to the tutorial, NEVER cut towards yourself. My youngest son received one of these as a gift from Dear Old Dad . I almost regretted it when he came to me in the yard squirting blood from his leg. Trying to open a box he somehow stabbed himself in the thigh and got a few stitches for it. Did I mention Cold Steel sometimes like to practice on their owners and are SHARP!
